UNITED STATES MARTIN BLENZ, OF BRONX, NEW YORK.

MILK-BOILER INSET.

Application filed February 5, 1929. Serial No. 337,618.

This invention relates to improvements in the culinary art particularly to a device to be used in conjunction with kettles, pots, boilers or like culinary vessels, and .more particu- 5 larly to a device used as an inset t'or the purpose ot preventing` milk from boiling over, in order to avoid loss of milk and the well known obnoxious odor developing it the milk boiling' over the pot comes in contact with the hot stove.

lt is the principal object oit my invention to provide an inset for pots, etc., ot simple and inexpensive construction yet durable and ei'ticicnt in its operation, positively preventf inn' the milk from boiling over.

Another object ot my invention is the provision ol a. device tor preventing` the boiling' over ol? milk o r the like which. can be readily inserted into and removed itrom a pot or the 20 like. i

A further obj ect ot' my invention is the provision ot a device of this character wllich is equipped with a perforated foot part and a cylindrical perforated body part connected with said toot part allowing` a returningl oil the rising! milk to the bottom ot the pot and a percolation and convection.

The above and additional objects will become more itully apparent as the def'cription proceeds, and will then be spccilically delined .in the appended clain'ls.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material pa rt oi this disclosure:

Fig. l is a sectional side elevation et a veesel shown in broken lines equipped with an inset constructed. zufcordinp,- to my invention.

Fin'. 2 is a top plan view o't' the inset alone.

illy improved and novel device for prevent inn; the boilinn' over o't milk or the like` as ehoivn on the drawing', in composed et a 'toot part l0 having a plurality ot openings ll formed therein a ud substantially o'l the torni ot al dish with an upright flange.

'integrally made with Said :toot part is a cyliirdrical upright body l?) having a plurality ot ojriening's let in its mantle. This body 13 is suitably fastened atiits lower end to a central inner marginal flange oil the toot part surroundingr its central opening 15, and extends somewhat below the lower face ot the foot part as indicated at 16.

A pot suitable for the boiling of milk therein indicated in broken linee at i7, and. equipped with a handle 18.

It will be clear that any enitable vaeaol fil] dll

may be used in which the inset is placed, as indicated in Figure l.

It the milk starts to boil and consequently to rise within pot 17, it will enter the cylindrical body through the openings la therein and liow downwards towards the bottom of the pot and then rise again through the openings in the toot part and thus a con tinuous percolation and convection will take place while the milkwill be positively prevented from boiling over the upper margin of the pot.

It will be understood that I have shown and described the preferred form et my device only as one example ot 'the many possible ways to practically construct the same, and that I may make such changes in the construction olt my device as come within the scope of the appended claims without departure from my invention and the principle involved.

llavincY thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentis :T-

l.. An inset lor milk boilers coi'nprising a dish-like foot part having' a plurality ot pci'- forations, and a central opening, an upright marginal flange on said toot part, and a cylindrical perforated body secured at its lower end to said itoot part in the central opening' thereof, said pei-iterations in ioot partand body adapted to iuniart to the rising milk in the boiler a deviation trom its upwardly directed llow downwards and allowing a percolation and invection o't' the milk on its upwardly directed return path.

2. An inset i'or milk boilers tor preventing overllowingi ot the milk, comprisinggq a dishliko pertorated foot part having; a central opening, upstanding` 'flanges on the inner and outer peripheries ot said iloot part, and an upetandinn c vliiulrical body having); a pluv rality ol peritoratons in its mantle secured at its lower end to the inner periljiheral `flange oil sai d 'toot part, and extending: somewhat below the same. the 'perforations in said cylindrical body effecting a return of the rising milk to the bottom of the boiler and the perforation in said foot part allowing),1 a rising); of the milk aga-in under percolation and in* vec-tion.
